April Fools Pranks have their roots in small jests from the Middle Ages, but with the power of the internet you can now play an April Fool’s Day Joke on millions! There are a few repeat offenders every year that will be good to keep an eye on and I’ll try to update this post as I come across them. If you see something that isn’t listed, please leave me a comment!

ThinkGeek is my favorite, I love their fake products and I’m not the only one! Several of the fake products they have created for April Fool’s Day have been in such high demand that they’ve actually created them! My favorite this year is the Rosetta Stone – Kilingon:

6. Fark.com has the front page pointing to stories from a decade ago, and is making me feel old.

7. XKCD has a choose your own adventure up. Should be good, last year’s comic ‘Time’ was epic. UPDATE: Looks like it is as epic as i expected, it’s an Internet wide choose your own adventure/wiki like mash up. The title is Lorenz – named after the American mathematician known for his work describing the ‘Butterfly Effect’ and laying the foundation for Chaos theory. (Source Wikipedia)

I’m sure there will be more, enjoy and be sure leave a comment with your favorite or any that aren’t covered! And while you wait you can always Prepare for April Fool’s 2015!

> All YouTube videos can now be played in 1911 silent mode – about time, the talkies ruined everything! Maybe not available on all of them though.

> Looking for some good pranks? Looks like you can change someone’s Google’s language preference to Elmer Fudd or their Facebook to Pirate-English! Details@ USAToday.com

> Update 12:47am EST – Time to head over to see what Woot! has coming up at 1am EST! Usually there is a bag of crap around – read carefully! Get your credit cards ready!

> Ok So Woot is making you complete game levels as their smart post snail delivering Bags of Crap to earn your April Fools Day bag of crap- I think I grabbed one but the site is acting funky for me so we’ll see. Avoid the obstacles and shoot the packages with your spacebar, but only shoot into the houses wondering where their BOC has gotten off to!

- Looks like they are trying to fix the funky, as an FYI you the BoC are broken into segments, one allotment per game level. Looks like I got off easy and snagged a level 1 Crap, keep playing and level up to get the higher level craps… and let me just say HAHA that snail is sloooooowwww :-p

-And it’s back – you’ll need flash to play if you are having problems make sure you are up to date and flash is not blocked!

Born from the boredom and creativity of the deals.woot community combined with my love of made up holidays and a need to create an unforgivably long domain name, Friday March 4th marks the first annual Do Something Unexpectedly Nice For Someone Just Because Day.

The name speaks for itself so the website doesn’t have to, freeing me up to have a little extra fun. I hope you will enjoy it and I hope you will try to do something unexpectedly nice on Friday well!

Not only is he pregnant but he’s having 70 babies! That’s not humanly possible you say? Well you’re right, the father in question here is a Weedy Sea Dragon at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. If you’re in Atlanta you should swing by and take a look at this amazing father and all the other wonderful exhibits, if you aren’t in Atlanta then you can still swing by the aquarium website to learn more and see a video.
